From the article:
Kathryn Fort, director of the Law Clinic at Michigan State University’s College of Law, where she also runs the Indian Law Clinic, is an expert on the Indian Child Welfare Act. Congress passed ICWA in 1978 to protect Indian children from unnecessary removal from their parents and tribal communities. On July 15, 2026, the Uniform Law Commission approved the Uniform State Indian Child Welfare Act which is the first attempt to update ICWA’s requirements to match today’s legal practices. Fort answers questions about the Act and its potential impact for protecting tribal families.
